Rusty and Edie's was located in Bordman, Ohio and served as one of the largest bulletin board services in the United States. Rusty & Edie's housed 19 gigs of which the majority of the files were reserved for elite users. They had over 100,000 files available for users to download form various countries such as the U.S.A., Canada, Finland, Sweden, Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. Rusty & Edie's received over 4,000 calls per day through 124 lines. The users of this BBS all had to pay a yearly fee of $89 to receive access. This would mean that from the 14,000 users the sysops would collect about 1.2 million dollars a year. The bbs received more than 3.4 million phone calls since when they were establishled in 1987. Seized in the raid were 124 high speed modems valued at approximately 37,000 dollars. Hard-drives, cases, monitors, tape backups, and systems were also seized totalling at least 50,000 dollars. Remember boys and girls pirating is a serious crime so do not try this at home.  Another One Bites the Dust!  ηβ”δ€ BUSTED!   TROEC known as The Realm Of Eternal Chaos has just recently been busted. Troec was located in MD and since the raid it's name has been changed to Eternal Madness and it supplies all Public Domain software. The bbs was busted because of some looser (his identity is still unknown to us) called the Microprose BBS and posted a letter saying that Malicious Damage and TROEC had their software. Because of this Microprose somehow called over to TROEC and warned the sysop to get it off his BBS. Later however Microprose got some looser's Handle, password and phone number and called over to TROEC. After seeing many Microprose games and full documentation the BBS was later raided. Users also had to pay 20 dollars for an annual fee to get an exemption and more time (to download pirate stuff). Users are still upset because they will probably not receive a refund.  Some Users are Loozers  β„z”βαŽ‡k  As some may already know RazorBack was the sysop of a half decent elite bbs with no ratios. About 2 months ago RazorBack for unknown reasons took down his bbs and told people he just got tired of running it. Well since then RazorBack hasn't been on the Pirate scene at all and in fact has hurt it more than anything. RazorBack has taken it upon himself to rat on elite bbs's. What RazorBack gets out of this I can not determine but one thing is certain he is not doing anyone a favor, except the software companies. We suggest that RazorBack if he still is on any bbs's is booted off immediately. He is such a loozer that he will hurt any bbs even a PD one. Shame on you RazorBack.  D’XX  Well Daxx has also been blacklisted from many boards. Now you may be familiar with his bbs "Elite Sector" well when you logged on to that bbs did you ever expect your password and alias to be used on another bbs. Well the rumor that has been denied is that Daxx used one of his users's password and alias to get on another bbs and uploaded a virus that killed the computer. The explanation is that daxx did this because the bbs was in competition with his and he wanted all their users. As I have said this rumor has been denied but there is sufficient evidence. Whether this was done intentionally or not is also just a rumor as of now. Sysops should also be prepared for viruses and should have a virus checker to check all the uploads. Had the sysop taken those precautions this event would have gone by causing no serious problems. Also Daxx has been blacklisted for threatening to turn some pirate boards in. Because of that some people have been very pissed at him and this last event got him permanently blacklisted on many boards. Daxx is supposedly a hacker and a cracker but these are not known for certain. The next document you will see was written by the former sysop of the Paragon BBS. Black Angel #3 @2 Fri Feb 26 01:36:59 1993 As all of you know I know longer run a board anymore and don't plan to.. But what you don't know is the real reason why I'm not runing one alot of you have heard many reasons like I got busted, hacked or because I thought you all where lamers well first off I don't know how everyone thinks I got busted because I would not even kid about such thing.. I will admit that I posted a message saying that all users in maryland where lamers and yes I even gave alot of my users a hard time when I ran a board but I made a mistake like so many of us do and if I where to do it all over again I would not have made them but it's a little late for that now... But I want you all to know that my board went down because I wanted it to my board was taken down by your good buddy DAXX who I gave sysop access to because I thought he was my friend and I trusted him.. As many of you know I was in ForceNet at one time and DAXX was the one who kept it going and he also made up all of the net files for all the boards anyway I did an arcive on a file called NET898 that was uploaded by DAXX after that I could no longer access neather of my drives or tape backup.. If it where not for Hammer I would still be without my computer today as part of my daily board maint I had my sysop logs backed up to tape every night and it was not until my system was fixed did I find out that DAXX uploaded me a VIRUS of some kind the file NET898 was u/l'ed by DAXX as it shows in my system logs.. The reason DAXX did this was I found out 2 weeks later was that  he told a person that I had a better board file wise because I was getting all the newest files as they came out and I was getting better and more post coming from my part of the net... As I recall he even posted in a Net sub we had set up between our 3 boards that he was being held hostage because of the number of post coming from my board... If most of you who have been bbsing for a long time remember how DAXX would take out boards for no reason E-mail Eagle and he'll tell you about DAXX most of you might remember a board called lazor zone DAXX took him out for no reason and Eagle use to run that board. But anyway when I posted the messag about all of you being lamers I did that  because I thought one of my users did that stuff to me and got mad at all users instead of taking the time to find out the real bastard who did it to me.. I know that DAXX won't have the balls to tell me why he thought it was nessary to take me out but that won't be of no suprise to me also I can bet that daxx won't have the balls to respond to this so that I can read it I don't have an account on his system so it will have to be through the net and if you see this on elite sector it will also suprise me as well..... IYou guys may not belive what i'm say here in this post and right now I can't offer you any proof because I no longer have my old system logs but sysop's that i've talked to from other boards does belive me because they stated that DAXX will NEVER get access on their boards and if he has access he'll be deleted.. After all DAXX is the one who is trying to get Hammer to talk to me so i'll be his friend again.. Well thats about it you will belive what you want and do as you feel you must do but I hope you all will remember 2 things and they are (1) I can make mistakes because i'm not perfect.. (2) I'm really sorry tfor those who got offended by the post about lamers because no matter how mad I was I never should have said that to any of you.  P’ββ’G™₯ ααS  As you may already know The Paragon BBS is no longer running. Well of course after the Rusty & Edie's bust many speculated that Paragon also got busted. There were many other rumors spreading as well but the final answer to the question is that Paragon was in fact  NOT BUSTED.  Instead the sysop Black Angel decided he was sick of running a bbs because of the "lamers". Well many criticize Black Angel for changing his bbs so much and then taking it off but we shouldn't criticize him because we weren't the ones running it. The document above I hope clears up all questions regarding Paragon BBS. In the misc. section of this magazine look for our interview with DAXX because hopefully that interview will also answer many questions.

The smoke bomb while resonably safe should not be created under any circumstances, this file is for INFORMATION purposes only. To make a smoke bomb as with any project first you must collect the materials. Materials: Potassium Nitrite Sugar Match Heads 91%-100% alchol Take the potassium nitrite (KNO3 or salt peter) and mix it with the sugar in a 1:1 to 6:4 potassium nitrate, the more potassium nitrate the more smoke, the faster it burns and the more dangerous to make. If this is your first explosive you may even wish to use a 2:1 or even a 3:1 ratio. This will make a lot of smoke still and is safer to make. After you have combined the suger and KNO3 in a pot cook it on LOW on an electric stove, no gas stoves unless you have a death wish, until it is whitish and a little lumpy through in a couple of match heads for ignition and wait till it dries. After it dries add the alchol (hopefully 97% or better) and stirr it in really good. Put it in your container and stick a fuse in it. Warning: a pound of this stuff will fill a city block!!!  FUSES  Under many circumstances you will come across the word fuse. Now most of you should know what one is, but it is another matter completely to be able to make one. Below is extensive directions on how to make a few different fuses. Keep in mind that if it suits your purposes a cirgerette cut however short will continue to burn. A whole one lasts for about 20 min.  Slow Burning Fuse  Materials: cotton string or 3 shoelaces potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate granulated sugar Procedure: 1. wash the cotton string or shoelaces in HOT soapy water, then rinse with fresh water. 2. mix the following together in a glass bowl: 1 part potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate 1 part granulated sugar 2 parts hot water 3. Soak strings or shoelaces in this solution. 4. Twist/braid 3 strands together and allow them to dry. 5. Check burn rate to see how long it actually takes. Note: the few inches of this fuse to be inserted into the explosive device must be coated with a black-powder paste to ensure its reliability. This fuse will burn approx. 2 in. per minute.  Fast Burning Fuse  Materials: soft cotton string fine black powder shallow dish or pan Procedure: 1. moisten powder to form a paste 2. twist/braid 3 strands of cotton together 3. rub paste into string and allow to dry 4. check burn rate Note: This fuse will burn approximately 40 in. per minute. How to make POTASSIUM NITRATE for use in the smoke bomb and fuses. Materials needed: ---> 3.5 gallons of nitrate bearing earth or other material ---> 1/2 cup of wood ashes ---> bucket or other similar container about 4 - 5 gallons in volume ---> 2 pieces of finely woven cloth, each a bit bigger than the bottom of the bucket ---> shallow dish or pan at least as large in diameter as the bucket ---> shallow, heat-resistant container ---> 2 gallons of water ---> something to punch holes in the bottom of the bucket ---> 1 gallon of any type of alcohol ---> heat source ---> paper & tape Procedure: 1. punch holes on the inside bottom of the bucket, so that the metal is "puckerd" outward from the bottom 2. spread cloth over holes in bottom 3. place wood ash on cloth; spread it out so that it covers the entire cloth and has about the same thickness 4. place 2nd cloth on top of the wood ashes 5. place the dirt or other material in the bucket 6. place bucket over shallow container (note: it may need supports on the bottom so the drain holes are not blocked) 7. boil water and pour it over the earth very slowly. Do NOT pour it all at once, as this will clog the filter on the bottom 8. allow water to run through holes into the shallow dish on the bottom 9. be sure water goes through ALL of the earth 10. allow water in dish to cool for an hour or so 11. carefully drain the liquid in the dish away, and discard the sludge in the bottom 12. boil this liquid over a fire for at least 2 hours. Small grains of salt will form - scoop these out with the paper as they form 13. when the liquid has boiled down to 1/2 its origional volume let it sit 14. after 1/2 hour add equal volume of the alcohol; when this mixture is poured through paper, small white crystals appear. This is the potassium nitrate. PURIFICATION - redisolve crystals in small ammount of boiling water - remove any crystals that appear - pour through improvised filter then heat concentrated solution to dryness. - spread out crystals and allow to dry Note: Potassium Nitrite can also be bought under the name of Salt Peter in most plant stores as a fertilizer if you are to lazy to work out the above.  Ignition  There is much more to a good ignition then a strike of a match and a simple fuse. If for instance one wanted to set a smoke bomb to go off a teachers seat at exactly 9:43 you could not do this by lighting an approx. fuse. What you can do though is get a bunch of those electric igniters from any hobby store. You then find the alarm circiut in a little radio shack 1 dollar alarm clock. Sorry I can't be more specific about where it is but it is different with all of them. If you want to find out open up the back of one and start cutting wires to see which one turns off the alarm. Anyway you stick the electronic ignitor into the circuit and attach whatever bomb you want to it and set the alarm to whenever you want. As soon as the alarm is supposed to go off the battery sends a little current through the alarm circuit, but instead of the alarm going off the bomb does. This usually works the only problem is that those electric ignitors can not be fully counted on.
